Chapter 726 – The Two Yard Rings
Han Li played with the jade slip in his hand with one hand, pondering thoughtfully for a while, the green light in his hand flashed, and the slip disappeared, then he recognized the direction and left this place in stride.
In a row through most of the Tepid City, Han Li to the remote corner of the giant city, stopped in front of a seemingly ordinary grocery store. On the front door of this store, there was a black wooden signboard with the words “Jade He Xuan” written on it.
Han Li surveyed it for a few moments and slowly walked in. Inside is not big, only a six or seven feet big small hall, the goods sold are mostly charms, raw materials and other ordinary things, there is a small side door, leading to the back of the hall.
Facing the door place, there is a gray-robed middle-aged man sitting behind the counter, is looking at the ledger like a pamphlet. Han Li divine sense in each other’s body a sweep, can see that this person’s cultivation is extremely low, only the realm of the refining period only, and the shopkeeper looks ordinary ordinary, put into the crowd absolutely will not notice the kind of ordinary people.
As soon as the middle-aged shopkeeper saw Han Li walk in, he immediately stood up with a smile on his face and hurriedly greeted him.
”Senior, what would you like to see, this store has all kinds of goods, and can definitely fulfill senior’s needs.” The middle-aged man mouthed words that all shopkeepers would say.
Han Li smiled faintly as he heard this, and with a flip of his palm, the green jade slip appeared in his hand and was directly shoved into the middle-aged man’s hand. As soon as the shopkeeper saw the jade slip in his hand, his expression changed for a moment, and he hurriedly put it away and respectfully asked, “May I ask the senior’s honorable name?”
”Han!” Han Li returned without thinking.
”So it’s really senior Han who has arrived, the ancestor had long said that senior would come, I just didn’t expect it to come so quickly. Senior Han please follow me.” The middle-aged shopkeeper said respectfully, then with a side step invited Han Li to enter the back hall through that side door. Han Li nodded and walked in without saying a word.
Somewhat to his surprise, the inside was actually a warehouse-like place, all of which were various kinds of chests and cabinets placed all around, covering the walls tightly.
Middle-aged cultivator went forward a few steps, walked to the front of a wooden cabinet, reached out in a corner and gently pressed, suddenly the other side of the two cabinets next to the box separated on their own, revealing a bare wall.
”Because of the fear of the forbidden system being sensed by some occasional guests who come in, the surface organs are all made using mundane methods.” The middle-aged shopkeeper explained under his breath as he moved forward.
Han Li listened with a normal expression and did not feel any surprise.
The middle-aged man stepped on a piece of green stone in front of the wall with his foot, and the wall let out a muffled “creak” before slowly splitting, revealing a slanting down gloomy passageway.
”Inside the late generation is not qualified to go in, it is necessary for seniors to go down on their own.” The middle-aged shopkeeper stepped aside and said with a smile on his face.
Han Li frowned, his divine sense swept inside, there was if anything aura fluctuations within the passage, very faint, and when he probed further into the depths carefully, he was blocked by a layer of prohibitions. However, with Han Li’s array attainments, he could tell at a glance that this was just a simple spiritual sense masking barrier, and although it could be forcibly broken through, the people inside would surely be able to detect it as well.
Han Li was a bit hesitant.
Although he believed that the old man from the Heavenly Extreme Sect wouldn’t be so stupid as to do anything under the eyes of Tepid Sky City, he also didn’t want to dive headfirst into a closed-off place of unknown depths because of an appointment with someone who didn’t know if he was a friend or foe.
Just as Han Li had this slight hesitation, the person inside seemed to have guessed Han Li’s misgivings, and in a split second, suddenly removed the barrier blocking Han Li’s divine sense. Han Li’s heart moved, knowing that the other party in order to gain confidence in him deliberately so, immediately also nonchalant, with the divine sense will be below the situation to re-explore a clear, the result of the face flashed with surprise.
”So it’s him! This is somewhat interesting.” Han Li muttered two sentences under his breath, and without further hesitation, walked into the pitch-black passageway.
When the middle-aged shopkeeper saw Han Li’s figure introduced into the passageway and disappeared, he closed the entrance again and restored the chest before returning to the hall in front as if nothing had happened.
The passageway was very long, leading tens of feet underground, and was obviously done on purpose in order to maintain secrecy. Han Li walked for a while, saw a little white light flashing in front of the darkness, know that to the exit, a little fast pace a few times, into a four-sided stone house.
The house was large, but empty, in addition to a few bushels set up nothing. And facing the entrance, there are two people sitting cross-legged on a futon, looking at Han Li with a smile. Han Li didn’t say anything, but headed to a corner of the room to sit down on a futon with his knees crossed as well.
”I never thought that it would be a fellow Daoist looking for me. To be able to see Your Excellency here is truly beyond my expectations.” Han Li said with a light smile as he rushed toward one of the men.
And that person, with a high crown on his head and wearing a blue robe, couldn’t help but smile bitterly when he saw Han Li say this, “Indeed, it was this Marquis who also felt that it was originally in the cards. After I parted ways with you, I thought I had escaped, but who knew that I was actually caught up by the other party who had cast a secret tracking technique on my body, and was caught up by them at the edge of the Mulan Grasslands. But the sky is not the end of the road, the back actually met a team of high-ranking magicians looking for us, the results of the chaos, finally managed to escape back. These few people who struck out at me will naturally settle the score slowly in the future.” Speaking later, this mid YuanYing cultivator’s voice vaguely revealed a fierce color.
This person is actually the day by the other treasure hunting cultivators to chase and escape the South Long Hou, now his face gray, eyes godless, the color is really bad enough, should be a lot of loss of vitality. The person next to him was naturally the white-robed old man from Tianji Sect who had asked him to come.
”In that situation, Fellow Daoist Nanlong was still able to get away and walk away, I admire you greatly. However, if Brother Nanlong didn’t return to his cave to properly recuperate from his injuries, why was he in such a hurry to see me, and even went so far as to have this fellow Daoist send his disciples to harass my concubines, this makes Han a bit puzzled.” The smile on Han Li’s face withdrew, and his words vaguely revealed a sense of dissatisfaction.
”Heh! Fellow Daoist Han has misunderstood. This Marquis had no choice but to do so. Do you know that you are now in a situation not much different from me, and are the ones that will be pursued by those people. I’m afraid that you do not know the power of which, suffered a backstabbing, this is the next best thing. And this is in my life and death friend, heavenly extreme door Xuan Gui Zi Taoist friend, originally the last time to explore the treasure, this marquis also want to invite him to go together, but unfortunately this dear friend happens to have something within the door, lack of distraction.” Nan Long Hou first spoke out to explain a few sentences, then a finger beside the white-robed old man introduced one or two.
At this time, the South Long Hou’s attitude towards Han Li, can be very different from the moment he first saw him, words already permeated with a polite and unusual tone, which is naturally Han Li killed a YuanYing cultivator in one fell swoop, and had a few scruples about him.
At this time, the white-robed old man smiled and then arched his hand at Han Li, slightly apologizing as he said, ”I am indeed a bit offended by my methods, so I hope that you, Daoist Han, will not be offended. I had no choice but to do so, and I’m really much offended by it.”
”Never mind, since there was a reason for what happened, I won’t pursue it. However, what Brother Nanlong said just now, was it because of the jade box I took?” Han Li waved his hand before suddenly asking.
”Fellow Daoist guessed correctly. As far as I know, in order to buy off those few people who were exploring the treasure together, the Ghost Spirit Sect spent a small price on Cang Kun Shangren’s roadmap and method for entering and exiting the Demon Fall Valley, and it was almost imperative to obtain it. And it just so happens that you, Daoist Han, have one of the items necessary to enter the Demon Fall Valley in your hands, and only by combining the roadmap with the one in Brother Nanlong’s hands can you avoid the vast majority of the dangers in the valley, and potentially fetch the treasures.” Xuan Gui Zi’s complexion straightened and he said in a grave manner.
”The thing that is necessary to enter the Valley of Falling Demons! Are you talking about that black finger ring?” Han Li was stunned for a moment at his words, but slowly said as if remembering something.
”The Two Rings are indeed in Brother Han’s hands, this is truly wonderful.” Marquis Nanlong’s spirit perked up, and a hint of crimson actually rose on his face as he said.
”The Two Instruments Ring?” Han Li frowned, feeling as if he’d heard of it somewhere, but after a brief moment of thought, he snapped out of it, staring at Marquis Nanlong as he asked with some trepidation, “It’s the Two Yi Ring that Old Man Xuanhuang refined with the Heavenly Meteorite Iron in years past? I’ve heard that this treasure normally has not the slightest aptitude, but when it encounters the arctic yuan light, it can manipulate the yuan light and kill people invisibly, which is considered a very chicken-ribbed magic treasure in the immortal cultivation world.”
”Fellow Daoist Han is really knowledgeable. Not bad, it is this item. This two meter ring is divided into yin and yang two rings, yin ring in the body can not be afraid of yuan light injury, yang ring in the hand can manipulate yuan light to attack the enemy. And you should be in the hands of the yin ring is. Back then Cang Kun on the person is with the help of the Yin ring, only by chance through the valley of the Yuan light of the ground, to be able to retreat. And as far as I know, although there are other methods and treasures that can likewise avoid the arctic yuan light, but either a large number of cultivators must be laid down in protective formations, or the other treasures are nowhere to be found and can no longer be traced.” Nan Long Hou calmed down and explained to Han Li.
”What do you mean by ……,” Han Li asked as he looked at the two, but secretly pondered the pros and cons in his mind.
